Paul, in his own unique way managed to be friends with absolutely everyone and had an influence everywhere. Speaking on behalf of all the young people that have come to understand theatre that bit better through his teaching and workshops at The New Millennium Theatre, Waterfoot as he began the Youth theatre in September 2007. Paul was one of the few people that gave me the confidence and trust to take charge and take an extra step forward in terms of theatre, which was a huge passion of his. If it were for this amazing man i wouldn't be who i am today, and im sure nearly everyone other person that knew him could say the same... With a huge ammount of gratitude from all he has done every member of the Rossendale Players Youth theatre misses him and strives to be the best we can in his name.
